________________
The Jain community should be grateful to Shri T. U. Mehta for writing a book on A Saint With a Difference in English language. The followers of Muni Santbalji would obviously find the publication of this book as a moral boosting to their work both at Mahvirnagar Chinchni and in Gujarat. It is their responsibility to keep the torch of Santbalji's teachings ablaze.
I am very grateful to Shri Ambubhai Shah for giving me an opportunity to pay my homage to Santbalji – that noble Jain Muni who transcended all dogmas, theories and sectarianism; who blossomed into a Vishwa-Manav broadcasting the message of Truth - Non-violence and Compassion to the whole human race. May the number of such apostles of Truth, Love and Compassion increase!
